Synopsis from Goodreads:
Belinda Lawrence and Hazel Whitby are about to embark on an exhilarating adventure through the stunning landscapes of France, following in the footsteps of literary giants Edith Wharton and Henry James.
What begins as a charming escapade soon takes a harrowing turn when a series of murders shatter the tranquility of their group. A palpable sense of tension hangs in the air, as suspicion begins to swirl like the autumn leaves around them. Each member of this seemingly innocent band becomes a potential suspect, and uncertainty seeps into the minds of the amateur sleuths.
As they delve deeper into the labyrinth of clues, they discover the truth is ensnared within a complex web of deception, fueled by the darker human emotions of greed and jealousy. This thrilling journey serves as an unsettling reminder of how easily the lines between life and art, excitement and danger can blur—transforming a leisurely exploration into a chilling mystery.
